From the link:

According to the text voted today by the European Parliament, the use of individual words and very short extracts of press publications does not fall within the scope of the new right. This means that information society service providers will remain free to use such parts of a press publication, without requiring an authorisation by press publishers. When assessing what very short extracts are, the impact on the effectiveness of the new right will be taken into account.

So this looks like we can use links to published sources then. I think more clarity, perhaps with illustrated examples of what falls within the scope and what does not, could be useful to this discussion.
